This is the moment an Irish tourist taunted British holidaymakers who were forced to stand in a snaking queue at Malaga airport.

As a result of Brexit, Britons must now go through a separate passport control when travelling to and from Spain and other EU countries.

This is because their documents must be stamped and checked to ensure they have not overstayed the 90 in 180 day limit for ‘third country’ nationals.

In a viral video, an Irishman films a long queue of Brits waiting to have their passport checked at Malaga airport’s departure lounge.

He is heard laughing before flashing his Irish passport in view of the camera.

He is heard saying: ‘The humble and brave country of Ireland… look at that now… oh yeah that’s good… that’s good now… come on.’
